First Term at Malory Towers
by Enid Blyton
Darrell arrives at a clifftop boarding school with a swimming pool cut into the rocks, and discovers her temper is going to be the hardest lesson.
A story about children, warm and adventurous in tone. We would put it with children of 8–11, and at a reading age of about 9 for reading alone.

Part of a series
This is book 1 of the Malory Towers series, so there is more to read if it goes down well — which is worth a great deal with a reluctant reader.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
